Windows drivers linked on ndis page are all from vendors, the WLAN-1450 adapter works for me on ferrari3400 laptop/dell precision 380 desktop with ndis-1.1 and the linked XP driver. To help debug your problem, please touch a file /kernel/drv/bcmndis.conf, then insert one line in it: debug-level=0xf; Debug information will be logged to /var/adm/messages, when you begin to attach bcmndis. (set "debug-level=0x0;" will disable debug message after detach/attach bcmndis) I would like to have a look into the debug messages. If you have Windows/Solairs dual-system on your Dell laptop, please make sure wlan module is enabled on WindowsXP system. I encountered attach issuse on Dell D800 before, since I disabled wlan in WindowsXP , before I attach ndiswrapper in solaris, but this is not an issue to Acer ferrari3400 laptop. Thanks, Michael
